PDK

  • how to get FAB pdks
    Greetings! Can anyone guide me how exactly can we (a University IC Design Lab) get a FAB PDK for our projects? Is the NCSU CDK a substitute for the actual FAB PDKs? Can the GDS II file of a project using NCSU CDK sent to the FAB for fabrication? If so, what is the difference between the FAB's PDK...

  • Aging simulation with RelXpert and Eldo
    Hello everyone I would like to simulate the aging behavior on circuit-level of the circuits built by bulk-Si CMOS technology. I know that there is a tool named “RelXpert” (combined with UltraSim) in Analog Design Environment (ADE) of Cadence Virtuoso can be used for aging (NBTI and HCI) simulation...

  • Webinar: Cadence, Mentor Find Common Ground on PDK Standards
    Representatives of Cadence and Mentor Graphics don't often appear in the same webinar, but there's a new development in the industry that was important enough to bring these two EDA vendors together Dec. 7. That development is OpenPDK , a process design kit standardization effort launched by...

  • User Presentation: Automatically Generated SKILL PCells Speed PDK Development
    Process design kit (PDK) developers have been using the SKILL language to code PCells (parameterized cells) for over two decades. SKILL is a flexible, extensible, Lisp-based language that can do just about anything a programmer wants to do. But is there an easier way to create PCells? Yes, according...

  • The Case For SKILL PCells and PDKs
    Controversy is continuing over the use of Cadence SKILL language PCells versus "interoperable" parameterized cells written in Python. What's getting lost in this discussion is an important question: What are the advantages of SKILL for process design kit (PDK) development and analog/custom...

  • Ten Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About SKILL
    The Cadence SKILL language has received some press lately as part of an ongoing debate over process design kit (PDK) standards. This post isn't about that. Rather, it's about the story behind SKILL, a venerable language that's far more than just a format for describing PCells in custom IC...

  • Seven Requirements For An Open PDK Standard
    My May 13 blog discussed the significance of the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) OpenPDK Coalition , which is seeking to define an open standard that will allow foundries to create a single process design kit (PDK) representation that can be translated into different input formats. What is necessary...

  • What OpenPDK Is And Why It’s Important
    Since process development kits (PDKs) are necessary for all IC design, a major change in the way foundry PDKs are provided is significant news. Such change may be forthcoming from the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) OpenPDK Coalition , which announced 10 founding members, including Cadence, May...

  • Bringing MEMS Design To The Mainstream
    Micro-electrical mechanical systems ( MEMS ) have been around for years, and have found their way into high-volume applications such as automobile air bag controllers, GPS systems, and inkjet print heads. But MEMS devices such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, RF switches and pressure sensors are not as...

  • Q&A: A Cadence View Of ‘Interoperable’ PCells
    If you’re involved in analog or custom IC design, you’ve no doubt read about “interoperable” parameterized layout cells (PCells) and process design kits (PDKs). What you probably haven’t heard is a Cadence viewpoint about these developments. The following Q&A interview...
